I have a old ps/2 keyboard and I wanted to use it with my laptop for when I program, so I bought a ps/2 --> usb cable from ebay for 6 bucks. It has two plugs, one is for a mouse and the other is for a keyboard. Well anyway it doesn't work wh I plug in my keyboard! The keyboard lights (the scroll/caps/num lock lights) blink like crazy, you know off/on repeataly. When I press a key it keeps on repeating it until I hit another key. Any ideas?

Some keyboards and mice just plain won't work with this setup.

Likewise, a lot of USB keyboards and mice won't work with a USB -> PS/2 connector either.
